Gulzar is leaving us to start a new postdoc period in the Lab of Magdalena Götz in Munich. We miss a friend and a highly regarded colleague. It won’t be same without you! We wish you all the best for your new start and scientific adventures 😉
The latest manuscript from Gulzar et al. 😉 is published on the preprint server BioRxiv: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.08.18.456709v1 Please read, comment and share the news!
Yet another online PhD Defense took place. We watched her defense via zoom and can attest: she did great! Congratulations. Esther concentrated on glia cells and observed the role of NEMO/NF-кB signaling in microglia and astrocytes reacting to brain injury. She is off now to another adventure in life 😉 We will see her back in the lab after her maternity and parental leave.
We are extremely happy to announce that our research ideas on Motor learning-induced plasticity of cerebellar Purkinje neuron connectivity got funded. News and updates on the project… Weiterlesen „We are part of the new collaborative research center ‚Key Mechanisms of Motor Control in Health and Disease‘“
Gulzar discovered important new functions of a mitochondrial protease in adult neural stem cells during his time as a PhD student. His work was supported by the Cologne Graduate School of Ageing Research. Unfortunately personal contact was still limited due to corona regulations but we tried our best to celebrate this great day! Gulzar and his expertise will stay a little longer in the lab 😉 Needless to say: We are very happy about that.
Corona cannot stop us!
Today Sandra successfully defended her PhD thesis under extraordinary circumstances. Even though we couldn’t support her during her talk, she did an amazing job.
We had dinner together to celebrate the acceptance of our paper. We revealed that mitochondria-endoplasmic reticulum contacts in reative astrocytes promote vascular remodeling: here you go 😉 Congrats especially to the first author Jana who left us for good to explore non-academic job possibilties. We miss her a lot, wish her all the best and hope for a lot of coffee visits.
Christmas time is ‚Glühwein‘ time. Merry Christmas to everyone 😉
We visited our former colleague Patric at the Leica headquarters in Wetzlar. We were invited to test a new microscope which will be available for customers in the coming year. It was a pleasure to get to know the company and the internal construction and designing steps which are necessary for the implementation process.
